CH 30

Su Tang was like his name. His whole body was sweet and very soft all over, like cotton candy with the taste of strawberry milk. Even more, it exuded a sweet and fragrant scent. Shen Lan pressed him down, first lightly licking his lips, then prying open his mouth and began savoring Su Tang’s taste.

Su Tang’s courage was very small and just the touched of Shen Lan’s tongue cause his face to become red and hot. He wanted to pull away but the other person refused to let him go and made an effort to intertwine and suck as if Su Tang was a delicious candy.

During this time, Su Tang was being watched attentively by the other person. Shen Lan’s facial features were very beautiful, his usual solemnness softening like the ice melting away from a frozen stream that brought along a deep and gentle feeling. Being watched like this made Su Tang’s heart beat accelerate, making it difficult for him to breathe. He only wanted to close his eyes but he was bitten by Shen Lan as punishment.

“Look at me.”  Still holding onto Su Tang’s lips, his words here filled with an ambiguous watery sound.

Su Tang opened his eyes from the pain, his pupils covered in a thin layer of mist. It was as if he had just been bullied and it was very difficult for Shen Lan to see him like this. A fire welled up in his lower belly and it could not be extinguish by any normal means. Only the sweet nectar of Su Tang’s lips could quench his thirst.

The soft kiss became deep and passionate, the ambiguous sound echoing throughout the bedroom. The kiss made Su Tang’s body become softer and softer, and he laid on Shen Lan like a pool of water. Like a person who had fallen into the wrong path, bewilderment and helplessness reflected in his eyes, and only at Shen Lan’s will could he be shown the way. There was no resistance, for he was powerless to do so.

In a daze, Su Tang could feel that Shen Lan’s breathing had become heavier and there was something pressing from between his legs, gradually swelling and rubbing against him from time to time.

Being rubbed so, Su Tang’s whole body was soft and hot, and the air in his mouth seemed to have been completely taken away from Shen Lan. His brain began to lack oxygen like it had been forcefully filled with paste, making him unable to think of anything. He groaned out a few time but the sound of pitiful and delicate.

Shen Lan was awaken by these pitiful sounds. He knew that Su Tang was not ready yet, and he also did not have the heart to continue bullying him. However, the desire in his heart was difficult to calm down and so he sucked on Su Tang’s tongue again while his hand squeeze the other’s soft buttocks before he finally withdrew and put some distance away from Su Tang’s face.

“Wu……” Su Tang opened his mouth, unable to properly react from the kiss just now. His lips were damp and had been sucked red. It was like a red cherry covered in morning dew and whoever looked, they could not help but want to kiss and taste.

Shen Lan’s Adam’s apple rolled. His restraint already somewhat at the end of its limits, it was proving difficult to resist Su Tang’s enticement. Reluctantly moving his eyes away, he took in one big breath but the fire in the pit of his stomach could not be extinguish.

Su Tang was finally able to breathe. Though it took him a moment to ease it, his mind gradually became clear. Feeling shy and happy in his heart, he wanted to look up at Shen Lan but found that the other was not looking at himself.

Immediately feeling a little wronged, Su Tang pouted and used his legs to give Shen Lan a light kick. “Why aren’t you looking at me?”

His voice was soft, like it came from his nasal cavity. A whining sound, yet it was not annoying. Instead, it made a person feel that it was delicate, beckoning them to love. Shen Lan, feeling as if he had become a bit more stiff from his words, had to sigh and cover Su Tang’s eyes with his hand before saying: “How can I not look at you?”

“But you cover my eyes.” Su Tang pulled at Shen Lan’s hand. Feeling even more aggrieved, he asked: “Do you think I’m ugly?”

“How can that be?” Sighing, Shen Lan reluctantly removed his hand away from Su Tang’s eyes. Seeing the other person’s eyes was a little moist, he hastily explained: “Baby, don’t cry, you are not ugly at all. You are very beautiful, especially beautiful. In my eyes, you are like a little angel.”

“Then you……” Though his heart was sweeten from the praise, Su Tang pouted, still wanting to ask in order to fully understand.

Shen Lan saw this, and knowing he was unable to keep it hidden, bent his body over and rubbed his hardness against Su Tang’s leg. Only when he saw the other person’s face becoming red did he supported himself up slightly.

“Do you understand?” Shen Lan asked in a low voice.

“I don’t understand.” Su Tang was somewhat startled and when he was finally able to react, he felt embarrassed all over. But still not wanting to acknowledge it, he simply turned his little head to the side and pretended that he did not know.

Shen Lan heard this and couldn’t help but laugh. Reaching out to touch Su Tang below, he pressed down and said softly: “You say you do not understand, then how come here is also sticking up?”

Su Tang was ashamed and speechless, but Shen Lan was not simply willing to let him off. Taking back his hand, he attached his mouth to Su Tang’s ear. His voice was deep and low and somewhat hoarse. There was none of his usual coldness, only a sexiness that should not be mention.

Shen Lan nibbled Su Tang’s little earlobe and said: “Truly an adorable baby but not at all honest. Needs to be punished.”

“What punishment, ah?” Su Tang vaguely felt that this punishment of Shen Lan was definitely not the same as before.

Shen Lan, however, did not answer and just meaningfully looked down at him.

Su Tang was not stupid and he couldn’t help but start thinking about it. Does Shen Lan want to punish him by doing that? Or does he want to mutually talk about that first and wait to do that later?

TN: that

–

When he finished thinking, he became even more embarrassed and he quickly patted his little cheeks, trying to make himself look calmer.

Shen Lan gave a slight smile but seeing the glare Su Tang was suddenly tossing at him, he immediately withdrew his smile. Raising up from the bed, he inclined his head slightly and reached out to caress Su Tang’s hand. He then said: “Don’t be nervous. Let me take a shower first, then I’ll come back to punish you.”

After Shen Lan walked away, Su Tang remained lying on the bed in a daze. He then reached up to pull at his own face. Feeling the pain and certain that he was really not dreaming, he quickly rolled around to bury his face into the quilt.

“I have a few words that I don’t know how to appropriately say.” The system suddenly said.

As soon as Su Tang heard this, he immediately understood and said: “I think you should just not say anything.”

Hearing his words, the system exploded: “How can you be like this? You don’t even know what I want to say in my heart and yet you don’t want me to talk about it.”

“Who said I don’t know?” Su Tang turned over and surrounding himself with the quilt, said: “You will definitely say to me, ‘Su Tang, you’ve failed the mission, I am so angry.’ ”

The system thought about it and seeing that was indeed how it was, it reluctantly remained silent, expressing it’s grief.

Seeing that the system was not yelling at him, Su Tang knew that it must be feeling very sad. Wanting to comfort, he said: “It doesn’t matter if the mission fails. I can work harder in the next world.”

When the system heard this, it felt even more sad. Su Tang had also said this in the last world and now have said it in this world again. He had a hunch that Su Tang would also say this in the next world.

The task in each world will not be complete and there was nothing he could do about it. Realizing this, it already wanted to just give up all hope and cry.

The current Su Tang was like a little elementary school slag. Every time he scores a red mark on a school report, he would just happily say: It doesn’t matter, I will work harder next time. At this time, the system was just an old mother exasperated at her own child for failing to meet expectations.

Forget it. Heart lines[1] are unexpected like this.” The system sighed then said to Su Tang: “But don’t forget that there is a plot line in this world though. The female lord is already the target of many vampires right now. Next Wednesday, she will participate in a masked ball that is filled with vampires. Your Shen Lan must accompany her.”

Su Tang suddenly sat up and asked: “Why must Shen Lan also go?”

“He is a Blood Hunter, ah, and the Organization had ordered him to protect the female lord.” Having explained that, the system went on to say: “I’m guessing that the invitation card has already been given to Shen Lan. You can go and check his pockets.”

Su Tang had actually smell a faint scent of blood but had not thought much about it before. Now that the system had reminded him, he helplessly asked: “Why didn’t he tell me?”

“I suppose he just doesn’t want you to go there, ba.” After the system said that, it saw that Su Tang’s had on a downcast look on his little face and comfortingly whispered: “You don’t think too much. He is probably just worried about you.”

Su Tang ignored the system and fixedly stared at Shen Lan’s suit that was hanging on the hanger across from him. He wanted to go over and look through it but also felt that it was rude to go through other people’s things. Feeling at a loss, his little eyebrows pinched together.

Shen Lan returned just in time to see Su Tang sitting on the bed and staring at his suit with a look of great bitterness and deep hatred. Feeling very baffled and giving him a hug as he sat down, he asked: “Baby, what’s wrong?”

“What is in your suit pocket?” Su Tang asked, pouting.

Shen Lan froze a bit then said: “A dinner party invitation. Um, did you go through my clothes?”

Su Tang’s heart gave a loud thump and he quickly shook his head. “I smelled it.” Afraid of Shen Lan misunderstanding, he added: “I never go through other people’s thing.”

Shen Lan raised an eyebrow. Not giving Su Tang a deep look, he simply got up and took out the invitation. Putting it in Su Tang’s hand, he said: “Don’t be scared. I didn’t say that as to blame you, just…… am I considered as ‘other people’?”

“Ah?” Su Tang looked up and stared blankly at him. Shen Lan kissed his forehead and began to tease: “Have you been kissed by ‘other people’?”

Su Tang shook his head, saying no.

Shen Lan continued: “Then have you been embraced by ‘other people’?”

Su Tang shook his head again. He has only been embraced by Shen Lan.

The smile on Shen Lan’s face became thicker and he said: “So I am not ‘other people,’ ah.”

Su Tang did not immediately respond. After a moment, he asked: “Then who are you?”

Suddenly hugging him, Shen Lan pressed Su Tang down onto the bed and said: “I am your husband.”

Taking the invitation in Su Tang’s hand and tossing it aside, he asked: “Since my baby’s nose is so effective, you say, what is your husband’s scent?”

Su Tang blushed, his heart beating loudly, and all around, he was surrounded by the grassy scent that came from Shen Lan’s body. But because he was so shy by the other person’s teasing, he hastily shook his head and said: “I don’t know.”

Shen Lan leaned in even closer and squeezing Su Tang’s little nose, he whispered: “Then smell it tonight, ah.”

Footnotes:

1. heart line // 感情線 // gǎnqíng xiàn – or love line, affection lines, or feeling lines. The heart line is one of the three major lines in palm reading. It’s just above the head line starting from the edge of the palm under the little finger, running across the palm and ending below the middle finger or forefinger or the place where they join. I may have mistranslated this in a few chapters. Will have to go back and check later.
